Music
freakluv (2026) freakluv is an expanded bedroom pop album. All songs originally being made as demos -- some being left in a lo-fi state while others being produced in a more polished manner. A wide array of material, culminating in a DIY white-album style listening experience. Self-released and available on CD. Album artwork by Real100tech.
Victim of Cars (2025) Victim of cars is the debut album of the band. About half the songs were recorded live and the rest was overdubbed and produced in various spaces. It is a collection of material nestled somewhere between grunge and freak folk.
